2008 Stop-Loss‎ (2008) Movie 1-Disc Box Set for Gift Collection Blu-ray

Plot Summary

The highly anticipated Iraq War film "Stop Loss" stars three popular male stars, Ryan Phillips, Channing Tatum, and Joseph Gordon Levitt. The title "stop loss" was originally a common term in the field of financial forex, roughly referring to the behavior of trying to limit losses to a smaller range when making investment mistakes. After the Vietnam War, this term was used by the US government. "Stop loss procedure" refers to the military's behavior of forcing soldiers who have completed their service or have conditionally retired to extend their service time in emergency situations they deem necessary. According to one estimate, this controversial policy has forced approximately 7000 US soldiers who were originally scheduled to return home to be stranded in Iraq. In the film, Sergeant Brandon King, played by Ryan Phillips, returns to his hometown town with honor and plans to rebuild his life. However, under the stop loss program, the military forces him to immediately return to Iraq to continue his service. As a result, Brandon embarks on a desperate journey to escape the so-called "justice" of a country he originally risked his life to protect.
